Yes! I really hope Ubuntu Unity will be official for 18.04 but if not then for 18.10 (and maybe a subsequent 18.04 official release like Ubuntu MATE did)…

Other DEs that could get flavours:

Rather popular DEs that could get us a lot more Ubuntu users if there were flavours for them
– Pantheon (already done by an Ubuntu derivative…but maybe worth reaching out?)
– Same for Cinnamon (Debian has a Cinnamon flavour!)
– Deepin

Comprehensive WMs like Awesome (as Elopio was saying)

Also maybe an install image for the vanilla GNOME session would be good? Could be called Ubuntu Vanilla GNOME or something… or GNOME Live, idk.

I’m not so sure about application suites independent of a DE… an Ubuntu Steam flavour?

Ubuntu guerrilla marketing campaign

Yes, Ubuntu is certainly lacking in the marketing department, we need more social media reach and I think marketing material will help with this! Creating some sort of hub post on the topic sounds like a good idea, CC/the poster just need to think about what they want out of the discussion…

To be fair though, (not to say that it shouldn’t happen or that it’s bad,) but it was indeed a bit premature.

I hope the CC is helping the Ubuntu Unity team to get to the stage where they’ll be approved?

I hope so; active developers who can make significant and sustained contributions () to the Unity stack are needed (even if the Desktop Team members who are currently doing maintenance on it join the team).

unfortunately, not being a developer and not having the time to learn to code in the relevant languages and learn the stack Yes I hope other people step in, it does indeed have a lot of potential and many users are very upset about the prospect of having to go back to GNOME Shell, so much so they’re considering leaving the Ubuntu family altogether (not even switching to a flavor), so it would be really awesome if we did have Ubuntu Unity by 18.04, but if not then oh well (at least Unity is still in universe).
